HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 100 - HIS PRESENTATION TO THE BOSS

Vince put down his phone. He sat up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen to get some drinks. The fridge has a different can of juices; he picks out an orange one.

Having trouble opening the can, he uses his left arm, and surprisingly, it didn't hurt anymore. But of course, he would tell no one about it, neither Hailey.

Instead, a playful smile contorting his lips.

Vince went back to the sofa and reviewed the presentation he prepared over these passing days.

He was a little bored in the hospital, not going to the company. On the contrary, it gives him more time to polish his presentation to Davies Group.

He was still a little nervous. He is worried if it would impress his client with his presentation about the Tallest Skyscraper in the World.

Being unsatisfied, Vince reviewed his presentation one more time and studied it if he mentions everything that would regard the tower's safety.

Not long after, Hailey came back with the shopping bags in her hands.

Vince quickly sat up to meet her at the door and took the icebox in her other hand.

"Thanks! Mmm..." She didn't finish her sentence when Vince placed his lips on top of hers. It made her blush for a moment. Their kisses still flutter her heart.

"What you got for lunch?" asked Vince while placing the icebox in the sink.

"Squids! You like to grill it, or I fry them?"

"Hmm... anything sounds tasty!"

Vince watches Hailey preparing their lunch. There are times he insisted on helping her, so then Hailey made him the errand guy for her to get a pot, handed her the salt, or reached out for vinegar from the cupboards.

Anything he did to be helpful, and he'll be honest; he enjoyed it a lot.

After Hailey made soup and a seaweed salad, they brought the food into the garden and set the electric grilled pan in the middle of the table to grilled the squids and clamps.

And since he could not have any alcohol, they settled on the sparkling wine. There is no alcohol in it, so he is allowed to drink.

On top of a delicious lunch, Hailey could notice that there are times Vince fell into thoughts. It seemed like something was bothering him.

"What is wrong? You seem distracted," she asked Vince.

He stared at Hailey for a long moment. She is indeed sharp. She could easily notice he was worried about something.

"I could not set aside thinking about my presentation."

"Hm? Is that for the Davies Group project?"

Vince nodded.

Hailey smiled. It amused her to see the other side of Vince. In the passing months that she first lived with him, he mostly showed a poker face or avoided looking in her direction or, to say, he is only taking a secret glimpse of her.

And then, sometimes, she feels he is avoiding her for some reason. But now, he is transparent in front of her that CEO Vincent Shen could also be nervous. Of course, he is just a human with anticipation.

"I want to ask you this. Why are you a snob to me those first weeks that we live together?"

Vince is a little surprised by her question. But then a silly smile playing on his lips.

"What would you do if I suddenly pinned you to the wall and kisses you?" He asked Hailey.

Her mouth dropped open. So he is only controlling himself not to do such a thing! But this made her love him more.

Hailey pushes a playful smile as she replied Vince. "I surely thrust my knee between your thighs and slap your right and left cheeks."

"Wow. As what I imagined." Vince speaks under his breath. He and Hailey laugh. "I truly feared for my buddy."

Hailey could feel that her cheeks are burning from his honesty. Vince mentioning her manhood made her blushed. Suddenly, that night he was aroused lying next to her, flashed in her mind.

Hailey coughs to hide her embarrassment. She racks her head to come up with something to change the topic. But then Vince asks her this...

"So, how about now?"

"Huh?" Hailey was puzzled for a moment; later, she understands what he means.

"Is my buddy is safe now?"

'Why is he asking me this!?' Hailey coughs one more time. "If you behave. I assure it safety."

Vince is laughing sexily; she could not hold back feeling marvel. He was so handsome, laughing like this. But at some point, he's silly!

Hailey reaches for Vince's waist and pinches him. "I can't believe you are this shameless!"

Instead of responding, Vince kissed her.

"You are cute, by the way." He said after he parted from her lips.

Hailey put out her tongue. Vince's smile never disappears now. She's glad that the tension he felt a while ago seems to disappear now.

"Do you mind if I listen to your presentation? Wanna practice it with me?"

Vince fell in thoughts for a moment. Hailey's idea is actually great.

After lunch, they move to the living room. Vince brings down the blinds in the whole penthouse to have a dimmer light while he presents.

He took a deep breath before he began. He treats Hailey as his clients, so he wears his serious expression every time he delivers his presentation.

But he could feel that there is a minor difference at this time. His face is brighter than usual. Of course, it made him happy to present in front of Hailey.

Somehow, his nervousness subsided as his presentation went on. It took him over an hour before he ended it.

At the moment, he waited anxiously if Hailey would praise him or what is her critics about the presentation he just delivered. On the other hand, it impresses him how attentive she was in listening to his almost two-hour boring presentation. He saw how eager she is to hear the details of the tower.

As he patiently waited, Hailey finally parted her lips into a wide smile. She raises her pointed finger and gestures at him to lean over.

Vince did it. He moves closer to Hailey and slightly leans on her. Now, as he was only a few inches away, Hailey reached for his lips and gave him a sweet kiss.

After then, she parted from him and muttered, "I love it!"

Vince sighed with relief. Exactly what he prayed to hear from her: as the first person he wanted to impress is none other than is her.

"Can I give a few opinions?" Hailey asked Vince for permission afterward.

"Sure! That's what I needed. I'm glad we did this!"

Hailey's eyes gleam. She was glad too! The boys didn't need to send her the video recorded for the presentation. Or she will watch the live video inside her office while Vince is presenting in the Conference Room.

That is their first plan. The boys will wait for her arrival; then, they will schedule Vince's presentation for her to join the meeting.

Then, after the presentation, they will have a meeting in her office to discuss it. And, of course, she will root for Vince and convince everyone that it was what exactly she wanted.

Hailey suppressed the wicked smile contorting her lips. She doesn't want Vince to notice it.

"Okay, here it is. Overall, I love your ideas and even the design of the tower. But I'm thinking since the plan is putting hotels, restaurants, and offices… How about we put multiple Entrances? For example, it will be for the hotels and restaurants at the South Entrance, especially when the tourists visit the tower. And the north is for the companies who will take office in the tower?"

"Hmm… Honestly, it also came to my mind. And I would like to bring it up during my presentation."

"Great! You should do that!"

Vince peered at Hailey earnestly. This time, he initiates the kiss. It was long and tender. "I love you, Hailey Hillson. You are wonderful."

"Hmm… am I?" she asked, still dazed from the fervor kiss they've shared. Suddenly, she felt like she got drunk from Vince's kisses. Later, after she calmed down her chest, she asked Vince playfully. "How did I become wonderful in your eyes?"

Vince brushed her cheek and answered, "It was because you made me happy."

Tears are forming at the corner of her eyes. 'This guy has become a sweet talker!'

But she wasn't able to mutter a response when Vince kissed her again. It was long. As Vince deepened the kiss, she could feel his burning palm caressing her back.

Soon after, she felt she was floating. 'Is Vince lifted me? But how? His left arm has sprained!'

She was about to open her eyes when her back felt the soft cushion. Vince moved to the sofa bed.

'Wait!!! He could use his left shoulder without a problem!'

It stunned Hailey when Vince moved on top of her and pressed his body against her. A warning flashes at the back of her head but disappears as his kisses have become demanding. He thrust his tongue into her mouth and began searching for hers.

Later, she realized Vince's hand entered her blouse and traveled upward until it reached its aim destination.

It's her chest!
